WORST Lawyer EVER!

I wish I read and followed the advice of other reviews. All this lawyer does is engage in sideshows for his benefit to increase litigation costs. Otherwise shows up unprepared, disinterested, and has a knack for focusing on.non-legal issues. When you peel back the onion you’ll see he is not a legal p...rofessional and has a limited understanding of domestic relations law.. His advice is not rooted in case law. Therefore he simply tries to settle cases through agreements. He was more of an adversary than an ally that would go on frequent political rants. I also noticed he has a tendency to berate women’s authority in the profession. Luckily I fired him before any permanent damage to my divorce case. Once I did fire him, he engaged in bill padding attempting to double or triple my legal bill, yet never filed a single motion in my case. Charges were like $400 to review the Kelly Blue Value of two vehicles that he requested I send to him. If you are on the fense about hiring him, look at all the reviews carefully and you can see the character flaws come through.

Worst Lawyer EVER

He is very rude and only cares about money. That is the only thing he cares about. Case dragged on and on and on so he could charge me more money. Never did he help me get anything that he told me he would.
